A doorway to explore the world & your path

As a current master's student in the Communication Management program at the University of Wroclaw, I can confidently say that this journey has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life, not only academically, but also personally and professionally. 1. Global opportunities through Erasmus+: During my time here, I’ve joined two short-term BIP exchange programs in Spain and Romania (with a generous grant), and have a one-year exchange in Germany. These experiences have allowed me to meet peers from across Europe, learn in diverse settings, and grow both culturally and intellectually. 2. Serious research, strong support: I’m currently representing our Institute in a Monography research project of UWr, a valuable opportunity to engage deeply with academic work and collaborate with professors in a meaningful way. The opportunity is open for all students who wanna pursue an academic path. 3. Supportive and passionate faculty: The professors are not only knowledgeable but also truly approachable. In the first semester, I approached my professor for guidance on career path, research opportunities, and expressed my interest. She shared insightful experiences, motivated and encouraged me a lot. And she nominated me for the Monography research project under her supervision, and I got the opportunity. I'm grateful, honestly. 4. Practice-oriented learning: Unlike many programs that are heavy on theory, this one focuses on real-world projects, case studies, and group work - ideal for master's-level students who want to build practical skills for the workplace. Actually, I don't face much study pressure, I enjoy the courses. 5. International Office that really cares: The International Office team is incredibly helpful. During the application process, I was surprised that they always responded to my email inquiries quickly and helped me resolve any issues. When I study here, from paperworks support to academic/exchange activities, they are always ready to assist and create a welcoming environment for students from all over the world. 6. Peaceful lifestyle & affordable living: Wroclaw is a charming, student-friendly city with a mix of history and modernity. The cost of living is reasonable, making it accessible for many international students without compromising on quality of life. I travelled to many cities in European countries, but Wroclaw is one of the most peaceful and affordable cities. Although the English skills of the city officers are limited, they always try to support by using Google Translate or finding support people. Studying at the University of Wroclaw has opened doors I never imagined: from international networks to research, from personal growth to professional clarity. If you're looking for an educational experience that truly takes you beyond the classroom, this could be your next big step. I appreciate this experience and believe that this is a worthy step to open up many opportunities to explore the world!

Practical and modern

Overall, i would rate programme at SWPS positively. What stands out the most is the practical approach to lerning. Many lectures have real professional expierience and often explain topics throhu examples from thier field, not only through theory or slides. The atmosphere is modern, open and quite relaxed, wich makes it easier to feel comfortable as a student. I also like that the university encourages independent thinking and discussion. However the organization could be better, especially considering the tuition fees. Some classes feel more useful and better prepared than others.

Very good

I have found great thinkers among both students and lecturers. I have enjoyed some courses more than I took pleasure in others, but that is solely due to my increased interest and the preference I hold for theory, especially social and cultural, whereby my greatest pleasure must have been meeting and partaking in classes held by professor Slawomir Kapralski whom I hold in highest respect. The classes are well-ordered and organized, the material is prepared and provided, the professors are attentive, kind and prompt in their correspondence - no less is the case when it comes to the correspondence one seeks in the support that the dean or the rest of the faculty staff will be willing to provide.

amazing experience

I was an international student at the University of Lodz in Poland. I am very happy that I choose this university for my masters studies. May be for some one its not but the overall discipline is appreciable.

Nothing to show

New possibilities

What I like about my university and faculty is that I have a lot of possibilities to work on my development. I will meet here a lot of people from different countries and develop my social and soft skills, which are very important, for example in our future job. I cannot say a lot about my faculty yet, because I am here only for a few weeks, but I have very high hopes that it will be a well-spent time!
